Dr. George Lundberg, past editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association, has long been an advocate for patient safety.In 1994, he published the seminal article by Dr. Lucian Leape, "Error in Medicine," and was criticized by AMA members who did not believe it and called for Lundberg's termination."Whose side are you on?" they asked.

Lundberg replied, "The side of science, truth, and all patients."

He recounts this experience in a new article for his blog, At Large At Medscape, at www.medscape.com.Here's an excerpt:"Hospitals are dangerous places. I no longer work in a hospital, and I try never to go to hospitals even to visit, unless, of course, I or my family were to become really sick and would obviously stand to benefit from hospitalization. I feel almost the same about surgicenters, free-standing emergency rooms, and urgent care facilities."

I really enjoyed reading your article. I found this as an informative and interesting post, so i think it is very useful and knowledgeable. I would like to thank you for the effort you have made in writing this article.

Every woman deserves a man that will love her, understand her and comfort her despite of her flaws and imperfections. True love does not have conditions thus faith and trust. I hope I was able to inspire you with my thoughts if you have some time you can visit my site. Have a nice day always, Cheers!
